given to women and they both vote aud
hold Office. we may expect to hear
candidates for Office sized up in the fol-
lowing scathing manner by women at
the polls:

worried to death for fear Madame Fit

lovely. ] was worried awfully over my
election bonnet, but it came at the last
moment or wouldn't have come near
the polls. Are you going to vote for
Mamie Berkeley for city treasurer"
mo, I'm not; we've been 'out' for

no living in the same town with her if
she was city treasurer What do you
think of Mrs. st. John for mayor?'
.Oh, | think she'd be lovely. She
has such queenly manner and dresses
in such perfect taste; but most of the
girls are voting for Howard Percy for
mayor; he's so handsome, you know"
"Oh, yes; but then he's SO conceited
and such dreadful flirt. He's engaged
himself to half the girls in town just to
secure their votes"

a mind to vote for Margie myself. Do
you know, Belle Fielding and Libbie
Lavelle have had an awful quarrel over
the Office of city councilman"
"No! How perfectly dreadful!
isn't it? Libbie accused Belle of
